Jaffe Disclaimer Home Our Firm Driving The Law Your Case Tips Links Blog High Risk Insurance in Arizona DUI Law IMPORTANT NOTE: Wedo not sell to or assist people we do not represent with SR-22insurance issues. If you have already been convicted of a DUI and haveinsurance questions, please do not contact us. Instead contact the MVDor your insurance agent. We will not respond to any inquiries regardinginsurance following a DUI conviction. An SR22 is essentially a proof of financial responsibility and isrequired after many DUI arrests and license suspensions. When you getan SR22 in Arizona, the insurance company must notify the MVD uponcancellation of insurance. This is effectively an extra measure toinsure that a driver who the Department deems to be of a higher riskmaintains constant insurance. For ordinary insurance, the insurancecompany would simply notify the MVD in the regular course of business,instead of making a special effort as in the SR22. Most people want to know how much an SR22 requirement in Arizonawill raise their insurance rates. This is a question best addressed byan insurance agent. As in any other consumer affair, we advise theaware SR22 consumer to shop around before deciding which price theywill pay, and which company or agent they will choose. For first time DUI offenses, there are tricks to avoiding theimposition of SR22 insurance. For instance, the order in which youreceive suspensions for your DUI matters (i.e., whether you receivedthe MVD suspension first, or the court suspension first). Some of my clients have been pleasantly surprised when shopping forSR22 insurance when they find out that they can purchase SR22 insuranceas well as general auto insurance from another insurance company andactually save money over their old policy. Go figure!!! I am often asked which insurance company is best for insurancefollowing a DUI arrest, conviction and suspension. My answer is alwaysthe same... Insurance companies are out to make money and any insurancecompany will screw you if given the opportunity. Therefore, be carefulwhen shopping around, speak in generalities, and get a variety ofquotes from different companies.

D.U.I.

DUI SERVICES PROGRAMS PRESS PUBLICATIONS DEPARTMENTS CONTACT Rules of the Road -- CHAPTER 4: DUI The evidence is clear. Alcohol and driving do not mix. Alcohol is the number one killer on American roadways. Included in this chapter is information you need to know about: Alcohol as a Drug | Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) | Other Drugs | DUI Laws | Drivers 21 and Under | DUI Prevention Alcohol as a Drug Alcohol is a drug that affects your overall driving ability. Alcohol slows your reaction time so that it takes you longer to act in an emergency. It affects your vision . Alcohol may make you overconfident and unable to concentrate (think) well. Drivers who drink may make more mistakes. Alcohol affects your driving even if you are below the level of legal intoxication. Drinking even a small amount of alcohol increases your chances of having an accident. Do not drink and drive . Back to Top Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) BAC is a measurement of the amount of alcohol in your system based on a test of your breath, blood or urine. It is illegal to drive if your BAC is .08 percent or greater. However, you can be convicted of DUI if your BAC is less than .08 percent and your driving ability is impaired. Your BAC can be affected by: the amount you drink. Twelve ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or one and one-half ounces of "hard" liquor contain the same amount of alcohol. time is the only way to remove the effects of alcohol. Food, coffee and showers do not speed up the elimination of alcohol from your body. your body weight or size. Usually, heavier people have more blood and body fluids to dilute the alcohol.Other things affect your reaction to alcohol. These include food eaten, your tolerance of alcohol and any drugs you may have taken. Back to Top Other Drugs In addition to alcohol, many other prescription and nonprescription drugs impair safe driving. Some of these drugs are: antihistamines, cold remedies, pain relievers and mood-changing drugs. Others are marijuana, hashish, LSD, heroin, cocaine, morphine and amphetamines (pep pills). Mixing even small amounts of alcohol with other drugs is very dangerous. It is also illegal to operate a motor vehicle on Illinois highways with any trace of a controlled drug, substance, cannabis (marijuana) or intoxicating compounds in your blood. Back to Top Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Laws Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious offense that is classified in this state as a violent crime and if you are convicted will permanently remain on your driving record. If arrested and/or convicted, a driver may lose driving privileges and also may be fined and/or imprisoned. Repeat arrests or convictions may result in greater penalties. Arrest and conviction for DUI can be embarrassing, costly and inconvenient. If arrested, you will be taken to a police station or county jail. You will be held there until bond is posted. Your car may be impounded (towed) and forfeited. IMPLIED CONSENT LAW: When driving on Illinois roadways, you automatically give your consent to submit to certain tests following arrest for DUI. These can include breath, blood and/or urine tests to determine if you were drinking or using any other drug or intoxicating compound before or while driving. A doctor or registered nurse must perform the blood test. You may have a qualified person of your own choosing administer more tests at your own expense. STATUTORY SUMMARY SUSPENSION LAW: If you are arrested and found to have a BAC of .08 percent or more and/or any impairing drug in your system while operating a motor vehicle, your driving privileges will be suspended for three months. If you refuse to submit to testing, your driving privileges will be suspended for six months. If you are a second offender within a five-year period, your privileges will be suspended for 12 months if you fail the test or 36 months if you refuse to test. A test refusal may be used as evidence against you in the DUI court case. At the time of arrest, the officer will take your license, and if valid, will provide you with a temporary receipt allowing you to drive for 45 days. Your suspension begins on the 46th day from the notice date and will not be terminated until you pay the reinstatement fee and your record is updated. DUI CONVICTION: In addition to a Statutory Summary Suspension, you may be convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, other drugs and/or intoxicating compounds. The first DUI conviction will result in the loss of your license for a minimum of one year. You also may be fined up to $2,500 and given a jail sentence of up to one year. If you are convicted of a second DUI offense within 20 years, you will lose your license for a minimum of five years. If this is the second offense within five years, in addition to other fines and penalties, you will be sentenced to 5 days in jail or 30 days of community service. You also may be fined up to $2,500 and given a jail sentence of up to one year. A third conviction, which is a Class 4 felony, will result in the loss of your license for a minimum of 10 years, a possible one to three years imprisonment and a fine of up to $25,000. A fourth conviction will result in the loss of your license for life . Persons convicted of DUI where the alcohol content was .16 or greater OR convicted of a DUI while transporting a child under the age of 16, in addition to the penalties that apply for each conviction, will be subject to enhanced penalties including additional fines, community service and jail time. A DUI also will subject you to high risk auto insurance rates for three years. Before your driving privileges are restored, you will be required to undergo an alcohol and drug evaluation and successfully complete a rehabilitation or an alcohol and drug education program and/or meet other requirements. ILLEGAL TRANSPORTATION OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE OPEN CONTAINER: It is illegal for anyone to drink alcoholic beverages in a vehicle. Both driver and passengers may be issued a traffic citation. Passengers on chartered buses, motor homes, mini motor homes, and limousines are exempt from this rule. It is illegal to have alcohol in the passenger area of a vehicle if the container has been opened. If convicted, you may be fined up to $1000. If there is a second offense within one year, your drivers license will be suspended or revoked for one year. Any driver under age 21 also faces loss of driving privileges for the first conviction. AGGRAVATED DUI: You may be charged with Aggravated DUI if you, as the driver, are involved in a death or personal injury crash while driving under the influence; have received a third DUI; committed DUI while driving a school bus with children; or received a DUI after a previous history of reckless homicide or Aggravated DUI involving a death. This is a Class 4 felony punishable by a possible 1-3 years imprisonment (1-12 years if a personal injury was involved) UNLESS involving a death which is a Class 2 felony, 3-14 years imprisonment (if multiple deaths 6-28 years); felonies carry fines of up to $25,000. The type of offense involved will determine the length of license revocation. DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED OR REVOKED LICENSE (FOR DUI, RECKLESS HOMICIDE, LEAVING THE SCENE OF A FATAL OR PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENT): If you are convicted of driving while your license is revoked or suspended for the above incidences, the suspension or revocation period will be extended. Your vehicle may be seized and sold at public auction and you will be faced with a mandatory 10 days in jail or 30 days of community service. This is a Class A misdemeanor which carries fines of up to $2,500 and possible jail time of up to one year. All convictions are Class 4 felonies carrying fines of up to $25,000 and 1-3 years of imprisonment. A second conviction of this violation may also result in 30 days of jail time or 300 hours of community service. A third conviction has a mandatory minimum of 30 consecutive days in jail, a fourth or subsequent conviction requires a minimum imprisonment of 180 days. ALLOWING SOMEONE UNDER THE INFLUENCE TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE: It is illegal for you to allow someone to drive your vehicle if you know that person is under the influence. If convicted, you may be fined up to $2,500 and given a jail sentence of up to one year. PROVIDING ALCOHOL TO A PERSON UNDER AGE 21: If you are convicted of providing alcohol to a person under age 21, you may be fined up to $2,500 and given a jail sentence of up to one year and/or your driving privileges may be suspended under the Illinois Liquor Control Act. Back to Top Drivers Under 21 In Illinois, the minimum legal drinking age is 21 years. Licenses for drivers under 21 are issued with a red header and a blue photo background. Effective January 2003 under 21 licenses say "Under 21 Until" ... and "Under 18 Until" .... Under 21 licenses issued prior to January 2003 have a red header above the photo and the words "Under 21." If you are under age 21 and convicted of DUI: the Secretary of States office will revoke your driving privileges for a minimum of two years.
